2004 Pontiac Wave review from North America
"I just bought it, is too soon for a fair opinion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Serpentine belt changed, it was all cracked.
Dash, clock, radio, A/T stick lights go out and came back, intermittently, when low beam headlights are on.
Some squealing noises from the front when passing speed bumps - could be the stabilizer bar bushings, links.
General comments?
The car is not fast but delivers. Tricky when enter the highway - must pick the right moment otherwise you'll be in trouble.
Honestly, mine looks having too many problems after 3 years.
One good thing: engine oil very clean, no traces of sludge.
